Interested in revealing how moisture-driven surface cyclones can develop into hazardous windstorms, now and in the future? You could do it at @UniRdg_Met @AtmosScience , working with @bjharvey_03 , @RiboldiJacopo , Sue Gray and me!

Are you investigating or want to know more about the role of "Diabatic processes across scales in the extratropics"? There's a workshop for you! https://t.co/FbRlVYXS7w We have a great invited speakers lineup (despite me being one...). Deadline for abstract submission: tomorrow!

To put it simply: "Nothing in this world is indifferent to us: the quest for an integral ecology" https://t.co/eC9B6q5xZG (4/4)

@amoslawless In this panel, the speakers will examine this human dimension of climate change, exploring how an understanding of the place of humans in the natural environment can contribute towards climate science, climate communication and policy development. (3/4)

@amoslawless and I were inspired by Pope Francis's words on the need for an integral ecology, taking into account the interconnectedness between all creatures and the environment in which they live, when we we decided to try organising a panel discussion. (2/4)

Really looking forward to the panel discussion w/ Prof Ros Cornforth (Walker Centre, Uni of Reading) Prof Sir Brian Hoskins (Uni of Reading, Imperial College London) Dr Ben Wilson (Scottish Catholic International Aid Fund) @ Corpus Christi College, Oxford 10.30am tomorrow (1/4)

@RiboldiJacopo #StormCiarán is an example of an extreme windstorm that was initially driven by low-level latent heating rather than interaction with the jet stream. Will this type of evolution become more frequent in our warming climate? One to watch if you ask us! @UniRdg_Met @AtmosScience

At this European Storm Workshop I'll be presenting work done with @RiboldiJacopo highlighting the diabatic Rossby wave origin of #StormCiarán and its subsequent development into a severe warm-seclusion cyclone capable of producing sting jets:

Beautiful frosty sunrise this morning on the Gurten, above the freezing fog in Bern and with great views towards the Jungfrau group. A great start for the first day of the 10th European Storm Workshop!

We've put together a little explainer on Storm Éowyn, its development, where it stands compared to other (in)famous storms and on whether future explosive cyclones could become more "sting-jetty" and diabatically driven https://t.co/iOjSYVF4Og @UniRdg_Met @AtmosScience

It will indeed be the cold conveyor belt (cold jet near the surface flowing around the bent-back warm front) that will bring the strongest winds over Scotland. Despite, having a "less catchy" name than the sting jet, its intensity and impact can't be underestimated 2/2

The intensity & structure of #StormÉowyn were certainly conducive to sting-jet descent. This satellite image would be consistent with it, as would be the timing and location of the record gust. However, we can't yet say whether the cold conveyor belt also played a role there 1/2

Storm Bert is set to hit the UK on Saturday, bringing strong winds, snow and rain. We spoke to Ambrogio Volonté, Senior Research Fellow at @AtmosScience and @UniofReading, about named storms, and found out what has been causing the cold weather. https://t.co/TyBFvlXGZH

It's fantastic to see this review finally being published! All you need to know about the role of diabatic processes in extratropical cyclones, from pioneering studies to the latest developments... I have the feeling I'll be looking at it quite a few times!

The role of midlatitude dry air during the withdrawal of the Indian summer monsoon - https://t.co/FpiRrcbZqH New paper of @akshaydeoras wi/ @ArathyMet @AmbroeusVolonte takes a novel look at the neglected subject of monsoon retreat 1/2

Cyclone Boris will affect the weather of Eastern Europe for the next few days, bringing exceptional rainfall to Austria, Czech Republic and the neighboring countries. A thread with some meteorological aspects of this storm I found fascinating:

This is great work, thanks @AlicePortal94 !

Thank you all for making the 3rd COST Action CA19109 MedCyclones workshop and summer school a successful event! We must also thank @ESA_EO for the excellent hosting and the support!

Looking for a postdoc on high-impact weather systems, their current dynamics and potential future changes? We have something for you! 3.5 yrs PDRA available here at @UniRdg_Met with Sue Gray, @bjharvey_03 and me: 1 week left to apply! ( https://t.co/I5o0BOOUL4)

Sting jets are now known as a common feature of damaging windstorms impacting NW Europe. Do they exist elsewhere? (no physical reasons why they should only develop in the N Atlantic) And how do sting-jet windstorms compare vs non-sting-jet ones? Find out in our preprint!
